Bengaluru : Unimech Aerospace & Manufacturing Ltd., a
Bengaluru-based high precision engineering solutions provider, has returned to
growth after a year of temporary disruption in global customer ordering. Its
consolidated order book has tripled to approximately ₹314 crore as of 26 May,
2026, from about ₹100 crore a year earlier, and the fourth quarter marked a
decisive turn.
Through
much of FY26, a wave of CY2025 tariff measures, baseline US duties, and
reciprocal tariffs, led global buyers to pause and defer orders. For FY26,
Unimech’s total revenue stood at ₹287.5 crore. EBITDA of ₹75.1 crore and PAT of
₹63.3 crore moderated largely by design: the company front-loaded investment in
capacity, capability and talent to build ahead of the recovery.
For
Q4 FY26, total revenue rose to ₹96.6 crore, up 116% sequentially and 23%
year-on-year; EBITDA recovered to ₹35.2 crore from ₹1.5 crore in Q3 FY26, and
PAT to ₹26.1 crore from ₹2.4 crore in Q3 FY26. More than 200 first-article
qualifications completed during the year, some of which are now converting into
production. Collectively, the current order book, provides strong revenue
visibility over the next 12 months and beyond.
Unimech’s
advantage rests on a deeply integrated manufacturing and qualification platform
— spanning nearly 6,000 SKUs, a qualification engine that approved over 200
first articles last year and is targeting a meaningful scale-up in FY27, and a
manufacturing footprint exceeding 600,000 sq. ft. Each qualified part
strengthens Unimech’s integration within customer supply chains, gradually
increasing switching costs over time. In precision engineering, particularly
within aerospace, energy and high-spec industrial applications, supplier
qualification is a long and rigorous process involving process validation,
repeatability checks, documentation standards and customer approvals. Once a
supplier is qualified and embedded into an OEM or Tier-1 programme, replacement
becomes both time-consuming and operationally expensive.
As
seen with some of India’s strongest precision-engineering suppliers, durable
competitive advantages are not built purely on production volume, but on the
breadth of qualified capabilities, process reliability and customer embedment.
Every additional approved component expands the company’s relevance within existing
programmes while opening adjacencies across platforms and customers. Over time,
this creates a compounding moat driven by qualification depth, engineering
credibility and execution consistency rather than scale alone.
The
acquisition of Hobel Bellows was also aligned with Unimech’s long-term growth
and capability strategy. The transaction strengthens the group’s manufacturing
depth and engineering capabilities, enabling Unimech to offer larger and more
integrated solution packages to customers while increasing wallet share across
existing relationships. The acquisition also enhances the company’s positioning
in high-precision and critical application segments, where customers
increasingly prefer integrated suppliers with broader manufacturing capabilities.
Additionally, during the year, the company received about ₹87 crore of nuclear
orders tied to the Tarapur and Madras stations, positioning Unimech for India’s
Nuclear Energy Mission target of 100 GW by 2047 (from under 9 GW currently).
Building
on the capabilities, Unimech’s associate entity Dheya Engineering Technologies
is developing indigenous micro gas turbine engines under the Make in India
initiative, strengthening its position in advanced propulsion technologies.
Unimech’s exclusive manufacturing partnership for several of these offerings
creates meaningful long-term opportunities for Unimech in advanced propulsion
and defence applications.
The
company is also expanding its international footprint through a joint venture
with the Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Group in Saudi Arabia. Phase I of the project,
involving a planned investment of US$30 million, is already underway, with
investment approvals secured and facility finalisation and machine procurement
activities initiated. The platform is expected to emerge as an important
long-term growth driver for the company.
Unimech
enters FY27 against a supportive backdrop, as global manufacturers accelerate
sourcing from India, with utilisation expected to substantially improve from
its current 50% levels over the next 30 to 36 months.
